Zolpidem: Palpitations can occur with zolpidem, also known as Ambien. It does have potential side effects. You can find more information about it on HealthTap.

Thank
Zolpidem: Should be safe as i noticed u are on no medications for any heart or blood pressure problems. Recommend using it on an "as needed" basis, though. Wish u well.
